FORMS TO HE USED IN TRACKING THE PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN The reader can see that by printing on both sides of the paper, four (4) full months of supply status may be calculated and tracked. The turn record is more complicated, as was referenced above. But again, the form "flows" and the amount of paper involved is reduced by printing the record sheet on both sides of the same page. Rosters of standing armies and garrisons are a separate issue. As I've outline the basics of each force / command in the first pages of this article, I will not repeat detailed orders of battle at this point. In the First Civil War, I used a computer to develop the turn record sheets and rosters, and then completed or marked on them with pen and pencil. For this Second Civil War, I will save myself the agony of trying to decipher my own handwriting and keep all tabulations, accounts and notes on computer disk.
